Over the summer, Baylor surveyed families whose children completed their first year as students. Out of the 260 surveys that were sent, 100 people participated, yielding a 38.5% response rate.

99 percent of the respondents reported that Baylor’s academic program met or exceeded their expectations.
99 percent reported that Baylor’s academic support and mentorship met or exceeded their expectations.
99 percent reported that Baylor’s academic rigor and depth met or exceeded their expectations.
97 percent reported that the depth and impact of Baylor’s advisor program met or exceeded their expectations.
95 percent reported that opportunities for leadership development at Baylor met or exceeded their expectations.

Who Responded

42 percent either attended or had family who had attended Baylor, while 58 percent had no prior affiliation with Baylor.
50 percent were Upper School parents, and 50 percent were Middle School parents.
70 percent were day families, and 30 percent were boarding families.

Beyond the Numbers
Parents were also given the opportunity to leave us a comment about anything they cared to share with the school. Their remarks help bring our survey numbers to life:

"Baylor exceeded our expectations of being welcomed as a family.”

“I want to thank the Baylor school for their warm welcome; this is an awesome school.”

“Our son is thriving, and we are so happy for him.”

“Our daughter has thrived at Baylor. Thank you for a wonderful first year!”

“My son is all in and really grew in his first year.”

“Our daughter been saying she’s ready for school to start for weeks.”

“Our son was pushed harder than ever, which is exactly what our son needed and we what we were hoping for.”

“My child keeps saying that she misses Baylor in the summer and can’t wait to get back on campus for a new school year.”

“There seems to be a brother/sisterhood that did not exist where our child previously went to school nor where we went to school.”

“Thank you for providing such a wonderful experience for my child!”

After School Program

We provide a variety of choices, so students can develop (or discover!) their very own unique talents.

Baylor's after school program is designed to provide students with additional learning opportunities beyond the regular school day through exposure to new ideas, skills, lessons, and achievements that take place outside of the classroom. Students in both the Upper School and the Middle School are required to participate in after school athletics or an afternoon activity such as Community Service, Walkabout (our outdoor program), robotics, drama, dance, or organic gardening. Many students dedicate themselves to the same activity or sport, while others enjoy trying something new.
